… And not be considered a major hindrance to my team in case I decided to not run with bow. kitten me, right?

I’ve been playing warrior ever since launch and I don’t want to play stupid bow builds, it doesn’t feel like a real warrior! People say warriors are strong, but we only have ONE stupid build to make it compete and that’s the only thing that shines, we can’t measure a whole class because of a single build! The only other thing that’s remotely viable is Hambow and even then people would prefer I ran shoutbow.

Can we please just do something to buff all other weapons? Offhand axe is stupid, Mainhand Axe’s 2 is just plain useless. Maybe, MAYBE sword will be useful with Condition buffs, but Final Strike is still a joke. Some people also use mace. People laugh at rifle.

If I’m not using bow I’m severely hindering myself, can we just get this right and please start suggesting skill changes that are actually going to make more builds viable instead of the whole “Nerf Cleansing Ire” or “Nerf Shoutbow” bullkitten? By the way, please nerf Shoutbow to the ground. Maybe then when warriors are completely kitten and USELESS people will start noticing how not-that-powerful we are, just because of one stupid build that stood above the others.

By the way, you’re also buffing bows. BRAVO A-Net, BRAVO. I am seriously thinking over just giving up and waiting for Revenant to come so I can roll it and give up on the only truly brute class in this game because you cater to people who can’t do a single dodge roll or blind to dodge an Eviscerate or stunbreak to avoid a Hundred Blades.

Even Rytlock chose to give up being a warrior, so you wouldn’t be the first.

I think a sword/shield (6 in arms 6 in Defense and maybe 6 in Discipline) build may be viable with the combining of the shield traits. It won’t be ideal for groups but should be fun for pvp, roaming and overall goofing off….Oh equip a bow for swap. :P

I was tired to play Shoutbow too, so a friend of mine suggested me to try his own build:

It’s VERY squishy, so it can be hard to master. Also, heavy condi build can be a pain.

Sigils and Runes can be changed. It’s your personal choice. Also, you can choose different traits, just do not change the first line

The goal, when using this build is too keep your adrenaline bar full as long as possible. You can use Hammer’s CC to interrupt and apply confusion and Axe’s AA to constantly drop down the health of your opponent.

You will see that a lot of ppl waiting for the animation of the Eviscerate, wasting their dodges.

If you find in trouble use Shield #5 or endure pain, of course

If it’s the bow you want to drop… For quite a while I’ve been on a rampage replacing the bow with GS in a zerk hambow build with Rampage.
Sigils: GS=Energy+Battle. Hammer=Intel+Fire.
Burst is great and zerk Rampage is BEAST.

You’re about 85% as effective as viable zerker classes without counting their utility and team support.
